Just dropped this at chapter 45, it was becoming too irritating.

First of all, I like to think I have pretty good tolerance for typical bulls***. I've read a lot of shonen and its usual cliches have become something normal by now. So I was quite surprised when I felt my rage meter reaching dangerous levels due to some shonen flaws in this seinen.

Before that let me just say this manga does things right until around volume 6. It has a good main character, a good story and entertaining action and pace. I was honestly enjoying it quite a bit. One thing that this story achieved very well imo was the creation of several villains. There were many evil people around our main character. An insanely strong psychotic serial killer. A hateful, manipulating, scheming, false woman who was a leader of a secret organization. And some others. The main character couldn't fully trust anyone. On the one hand he was "forced" into the organization, but its evil side that could at anytime destroy him never let him think of the organization as a friend or its members as allies, much less the leader who is so evil it's infuriating. On the other hand that organization is fighting to protect humanity from monsters, while protecting themselves from the serial killer. Enemies everywhere. The manga does a wonderful job of making you thoroughly hate the characters. At a certain point you're cheering for them to get what they deserve and get it good. And that's how I was at the beginning of volume 6 [Warning: Slight Spoilers Ahead].

Sorry but I can't swallow all that bs. I have seriously had enough. But if you can handle that cliche give the manga a try, you'll probably enjoy it.

if ever there was a manga where a lie can ruin one life and even cause the death of someone you love then this is one ...
seems like the protagonist was planning a Hikaru Genji Plan
but everything gone wrong somehow

World Embryo had a decent start, but with each chapter Daisuke Moriyama progressively makes it worse.

The art in this manga is quite fantastic, and the story seems to be quite intriguing so far.

It's something I'd really recommend, I just wished they'd release this faster.

This is one great manga that I ever read. It's true when I first read it, I fell bored but after a few much chapter you can find a good development against all the character. Hope it doesn't have sad ending like Chrno Crusade. But in overall this is one best manga.

The first 15-20 chapters or so are amazing, but after that the storyline seems to lose something. I can't specify exactly what...but...something.

Now then, art is top notch, and the fighting is very easy to understand. However I can't say whoever liked Chrno Crusade will like this. The lack of a developing relationship and romance will throw off Chrno fans at one point. For me, that point was as previously stated around chapter 20.

So...overall, I'd have to say this is a manga everyone should definitely START reading, however I doubt many people will read it all the way through.

good manga yet weird. maybe the kid should been sent therapy. to stop monster cant they use cell jammers so cell dont get signal? there a lot of questions. also the romance a bit wierd unless there no blood related? it be ncie if there an anime maybe. i wish we learn more about some side character. the ending felt way to upbrupt...wish it be like what happened after six month ad there daily lives now. it like other said the manga has high point then low points. sometimes the mc is annoying.

i absolutely love this manga but im 50 chapters in and i still have no idea what is going on, weird right? tons of unanswered questions and no answers but nerveless its still a great manga.

Despite being pretty much standard shonen stock, World Embryo does its job at being entertaining. Just don't expect it to be original. The fight scenes bring nothing new to the genre, and are, to be blunt, boring. And some of the secondary characters really weren't interesting enough for readers to actually "feel" for them when they get their own little story time. Also, while I have no issue with the "Secret Organization" thing they have going on (although its starting to get stale - must every manga have one?), this one in particular just breaks the suspension of disbelief by trying to take itself seriously. A telco company. That beats up monsters. Sure.

Still, Nenee brings an interesting dynamic to the series. And the new twist that the latest chapters have brought about is looking to be interesting. I thought about reserving judgment for the series till it ended, but I figure that would-be readers ought to know - even by the near-50th chapters, it still hasn't done anything original.

I think Embryo's done. It peaked at chapter 15 and its been pretty bad since.
